- I would be very grateful if someone could take on this task for me. Had I
- a 1581, which I will buy soon, with big blue reader to do a particular
- conversion (my university uses PC's connected to the network), I would not
- have a problem.
-
- But as it stands, I've just grabbed some files - geostechref1.arc,
- geostechref2.arc and geostechref3.arc from the ftp site ccosun.caltech.edu
- under the directory /pub/rknop/geos/programmer. Since these
- files are encoded in PETSCII format, I am unable to read them at my UNIX
- terminal. Guess what I'm going to ask?
-
- Could some kind soul convert these files to ASCII format, so I can read them
- from my UNIX terminal as well as print them? I could e-mail you the relevant
- files to avoid the use of ftp to get them.
